BLS Flags 10 Growing Jobs Paying $75,000-Plus With Low AI Exposure

Summary
Twenty low-AI-exposure occupations paid at least $75,000 last year, and BLS highlighted 10 of those that are still projected to add jobs between 2025 and 2035.
BLS said 213 of 831 occupations have low relative AI exposure, meaning current AI models and LLMs do not match many of their required tasks or perform them often.
The agency cautioned that AI exposure does not by itself signal job losses, productivity gains, automation odds or wage effects; some low-exposure jobs, including chemical plant and system operators, are still projected to shrink.
More than 100 very highly AI-exposed occupations are also high-paying and expected to grow, including software developers, financial managers and HR specialists, underscoring that exposure and demand can diverge.
AI's workplace footprint is widening as employers push workers to use the technology, while 71% of U.S. adults now expect AI to reduce jobs over the next 20 years, up from 64% two years ago.
